Everything in the article makes total sense...wealth building helps through appreciation and debt paydown over time.It makes sense that chicago suburbs with strong school districts perform the best. 

On the repairs - I re-read your original post, and you did seem to mention that you have a property manager - is that accurate? 

The electrical panel is original, so an upgrade might be needed in the future. 

(still took me a few months to shake the bad feelings, though).As to the original question, "yes".

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

Hi everyone,I’m looking for some guidance on improving the performance of our short-term rental, and I’d really appreciate your insights.

Alternatively, I could explore loan recasting, where the lender recalculates my monthly payment based on the reduced principal, keeping the original loan term intact.

Glad to see there are still some original voices on here. 

Within a year we had 3 or 4 originators, 2 or 3 processors, and a full-time admin assistant.
